2024 Map of Honeymoon Lake

About this map

Honeymoon Lake sits at the heart of this high-elevation drainage network in the central Idaho wilderness. This landscape is defined by the headwaters of Sulphur Creek and its many celestial-named tributaries, including Full Moon Creek, Half Moon Creek, and Moonshine Creek. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges like Pistol Creek Ridge, which separates the northern drainages from the complex basin below. Human presence in this area of the Boise National Forest and the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness is limited to a network of backcountry paths. Notable routes include the Silver Moon Trl and the Artillery Dome Road, the latter suggesting seasonal use for winter travel. The drainage patterns of North Fork Sulphur Creek and North Fork Elk Creek reveal a rugged, untouched topography where water and elevation dictate the pace of movement through the forest.
